Undergraduate Program
The Centre for Hellenic Studies offers courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Building on our strengths in Byzantine and Modern Greek history and seeking to expand into the post-Byzantine and early-Modern Greek worlds we collaborate with specialists in Ottoman and Modern Near Eastern studies at the SFU History Department to engage students at all levels with the fascinating worlds that provided the contexts for and interacted with Hellenism over the centuries.
At the same time recognizing that the roots of Medieval and Modern Hellenism cannot but be sought in the achievement of ancient Greece we partner with the Department of the Humanities in order to offer courses that will provide the intellectual and historical grounding for our course offerings.
Students interested in Hellenic Studies at the undergraduate level can therefore study all aspects of Hellenism from Mythology and History of Philosophy, to its presence in the social, political, religious, and economic spheres in Byzantine times and its adventures in the era of the Modern Greek state from the 19th century to the present. Significantly we try to weave discussions on Hellenism with modern debates examining our subject matter in both regional and global contexts.
